3.2.6 M-Logic
The alternator 100 % load is the outer circle, and the engine 100 % load is the blue dotted line. With the operating chart it is possible to see where the alternator-safe line is closest to the 1.0 PF line. This is marked with
a red arrow. In this operating chart each vertical line represents 10 %, and by this, the dot closets to 1.0 PF
has been read to 18 %. With the nominal alternator values and the nominal engine values, the calculations
can be made.
Example: The reading of 18 % is used. The alternator has a nominal power of 2500 kVA, and the engine has
a nominal power of 2000 kW. The distance between the dot and the 1.0 PF line represents a power, and this
is calculated to: 2500 kVA*18 % = 450 kvar
The setting of parameter 1521 can now be calculated: 450 kvar/2000 kW = 22.5 %

The six values can then be transferred to a curve, which is more readable:
When the actual values represent a point above the curve, the breaker should be tripped. The curve shows
that the generator breaker will trip when two requirements are met: The generator voltage is below 50 % of
rated, and the current is above 50 % of rated.
Timer, outputs, enable and fail class are set in parameters 1111 to 1115. The timer in 1111 decides how long
the fault will exceed the limits, before an action will take place. The action/fail class is decided in parameter
1115 and can be set from a warning to a shutdown. As a default, this will be set to trip the generator breaker.
The outputs can be used to activate a relay. This will make it possible to send a signal to external equipment
regarding this specific alarm. It is possible to configure two relay outputs for the alarm. The protection function
is activated as a default, but can be disabled in parameter 1114.

In the example, phase-phase measurements have been used. Phase-phase is selected as default, but it can
also be phase-neutral measurements, and this can be changed in parameter 1201. (Parameter 1201 will be
described later).
Be aware that when parameter 1201 is changed, it will influence other protections.
In parameter 1512 the timer can be set, and in parameter 1515 this protection is enabled. In parameter 1516
the fail class is decided. It is also possible to enable two relay outputs when the alarm occurs. The two relay
outputs can be set in parameters 1513 and 1514.
3.3.5 Over-excitation
When heavy inductive loads are connected, an over-excitation of the generator can occur. Over-excitation
can overheat windings in the generator and create a failure over time. Over-excitation can also occur if the
load of a generator quickly changes from inductive to capacitive, or in an application with more than one generator in case one of the generators' exciter fails. To set the over-excitation protection correctly, the operating
chart of the genset is requisite.
A random operating chart of a genset is shown below:

Parameter 1202 is similar to 1201. It is also considering how the measurements should be made. But this
parameter refers to the other voltage measurements. On a generator unit it will be the busbar voltage measurements, and on a mains unit it will be the voltage measurements after the mains breaker. This parameter
can also be set to phase-phase measurement or phase-neutral measurement.
Parameter 1202 influences:
1270, 1280, 1290
1300, 1310, 1320, 1330
1620
1660, 1700
7480, 7490
Parameter 1203 refers to the current measurement as described earlier in this chapter, under "Unbalanced
current".

Activation
Manual switching between the nominal set points can be done in three ways: digital input, AOP or menu
6006.
When using M-Logic, any event can be used to activate an automatic switching of nominal parameter sets.
Digital input
M-Logic is used when a digital input is needed to switch between the four sets of nominal settings. Select the
required input among the input events, and select the nominal settings in the outputs.

Switching between the two "BB nominal settings" (6050 and 6060) is done in the same way as
explained above (channel 6054).
3.6.3 Scaling
Default voltage scaling is set to range 100 V to 25000 V (parameter 9030). To be able to handle applications
above 25000 V and below 100 V, it is necessary to adjust the input range so it matches the actual value of
the primary voltage transformer. This makes it possible for the unit to support a wide range of voltage and
power values. Master password level access is required to change this parameter.
Changing the voltage scaling will also influence the nominal power scaling:

100 V to 25000 V
0.4 kV to 75 kV
0.10 to 90.00 MW
0.4 kV to 75.00 kV

10 kV to 160 kV
1.0 to 900.0 MW
10.0 kV to 160.0 kV
10.0 kV to 160.0 kV
All nominal values and the primary VT settings must be corrected after the scaling has been
changed in parameter 9030.

Power ramp 1
This is the primarily used power ramp. Power ramp 1 is only ignored during "Frequency dependent power
droop" or if Power ramp 2 is activated with M-logic.
Power ramp 2
Ch 2616 and 2623 defines the slope of the second power ramp. This is a secondary power ramp mostly used
for "frequency dependent power droop", but it can also be activated with any M-logic event. Ch 2624 (Automatic ramp selection) determines if the ramp 2 is activated by droop or M-logic. If Automatic "ramp selection
is activated", then the second ramp is enabled during power droop. If it is disabled, then the second ramp can
only be activated by M-logic.
The delay starts running when the GB has been closed.
Ramp speed 2
When "auto ramp select" is disabled, Ramp 2 can only be enabled with M-logic

It is necessary to configure the digital inputs through the PC utility software to use the manual
commands. The number of configurable digital inputs is option-dependent.
It is not possible to open and close the generator breaker or the mains breaker in manual
mode.
MAN mode cannot be selected, when AUTO mode is selected. To go from AUTO to MAN, it is
necessary to go to SEMI-AUTO to make MAN available.

3.11 Sequences
3.11.1 About sequences
The following contains information about the sequences of the engine, the generator breaker and, if installed,
the mains breaker. These sequences are automatically initiated if the auto mode is selected, or if the commands are selected in the semi-auto mode.
DEIF A/S
Page 52 of 324
Functional descriptions
In the semi-auto mode, the selected sequence is the only sequence initiated (for example, press the START
push-button: The engine will start, but no subsequent synchronising is initiated).
The following sequences will be illustrated below:
START sequence
STOP sequence
Breaker sequences
If island operation is selected, the digital input MB closed is NOT to be activated with a 12/24 volt input signal. A mains breaker failure will occur if the wiring of the mains breaker feedback inputs is wrong.
Please refer to our Application Notes or Installation Instructions for information about the required breaker wiring.
Start sequence
The following drawings illustrate the start sequences of the genset with normal start prepare and extended
start prepare.

Running feedback
Different types of running feedback can be used to detect if the motor is running. Please refer to menu 6170
for selection of the running feedback type.
The running detection is made with a built-in safety routine. The running feedback selected is the primary
feedback. At all times, all the types of running feedback are used for running detection. If, for some reason,
the primary choice is not detecting any running feedback, the starter relay will stay activated for one additional second. If a running feedback is detected based on one of the secondary choices, the genset will start. In
this way, the genset will still be functional even though a tacho sensor is damaged or dirty.
DEIF A/S
Page 55 of 324
Functional descriptions
As soon as the genset is running, no matter if the genset is started based on the primary or secondary feedback, the running detection will be made based on all available types.

Functional descriptions
The only protections that can stop the genset/interrupt the start sequence when the shutdown
override input is activated, are the digital input emergency stop and the alarm overspeed
2. Both of these must have the fail class shutdown.
Set points related to the start sequence
Crank failure alarm (4530 Crank failure)
If MPU is chosen as the primary running feedback, this alarm will be raised if the specified RPM is not
reached before the delay has expired.
Run feedback failure (4540 Run feedb. fail)
If running is detected on the frequency (secondary), but the primary running feedback, for example digital input, has not detected running, this alarm will be raised. The delay to be set is the time from the secondary
running detection and until the alarm is raised.
Hz/V failure (4550 Hz/V failure)
If the frequency and voltage are not within the limits set in menu 2110 after the running feedback is received,
this alarm is raised when the delay has expired.
Start failure alarm (4570 Start failure)
The start failure alarm occurs, if the genset has not started after the number of start attempts set in menu
6190.
Start prepare (6180 Starter)
Normal prepare: The start prepare timer can be used for start preparation purposes, for example prelubrication or preglowing. The start prepare relay is activated when the start sequence is initiated and deactivated
when the start relay is activated. If the timer is set to 0.0 s, the start prepare function is deactivated.
Extended prepare: The extended prepare will activate the start prepare relay when the start sequence is initiated and keep it activated when the start relay activates until the specified time has expired. If the ext. prepare time exceeds the start ON time, the start prepare relay is deactivated when the start relay deactivates. If
the timer is set to 0.0 s, the extended prepare function is deactivated.
Start ON time: The starter will be activated for this period when cranking.
Start OFF time: The pause between two start attempts.

MB close delay:
The time from GB OFF to MB ON when back synchronisation is OFF.
Back sync.:
Enables synchronisation from mains to generator.
Sync. to mains:
Enables synchronisation from generator to mains.
Load time:
After opening of the breaker, the MB ON sequence will not be initiated before this delay has expired.
Please refer to the description of breaker spring load time.
If no MB is represented, then the relays and inputs normally used for MB control become configurable. The power plant constructor (USW) is used for configuration of the plant design if
the application does not include an MB.
AGC 200 without back synchronisation: The GB can only be closed if the mains breaker is
open.The MB can only be closed if the generator breaker is open.
AGC 200 with back synchronisation: If the GB or MB push-button is activated, the AGC 200 will
start synchronising if the generator or mains voltage is present.The GB can close directly if the
MB is open. The MB can close directly if the GB is open.

Because of the characteristic above, it is recommended to use the full range of the output to avoid an unstable regulation. If the output range used is too small, a small regulation deviation will cause a rather big output

Integral regulator
The main function of the integral regulator is to eliminate offset. The integral action time Ti is defined as the
time the integral regulator uses to replicate the momentary change of the output caused by the proportional
regulator.
In the drawing below, the proportional regulator causes an immediate change of 10%. The integral action
time is then measured when the output reaches 2 x 10 = 20%.

As shown in the drawing, the output reaches 20% twice as fast at a Ti setting of 10 s than with a setting of 20
s.
DEIF A/S
Page 83 of 324
PID controller
The integrating function of the I regulator is increased if the integral action time is decreased. This means that
a lower setting of the integral action time Ti results in a faster regulation.
If the Ti is adjusted to 0 s, the I regulator is switched OFF.
The integral action time Ti must not be too low. This will make the regulation hunt similar to a
too high proportional action factor Kp.
Differential regulator
The main purpose of the differential regulator (D regulator) is to stabilise the regulation, thus making it possible to set a higher gain and a lower integral action time Ti. This will make the overall regulation eliminate deviations much faster.
In most cases, the differential regulator is not needed; however, in case of very precise regulation situations,
e.g. static synchronisation, it can be very useful.
The output from the D regulator can be explained with the equation:
D Td Kp
de
dt
D = Regulator output
Kp = Gain
de/dt = Slope of the deviation (how fast the deviation occurs)
This means that the D regulator output depends on the slope of the deviation, the Kp and the Td setting.
Example: In the following example, it is assumed that Kp = 1.

D output 2, Td=0.5 s:
Output from the D regulator when Td=0.5 s and the deviation is according to Deviation 2.
D output 2, Td=1 s:
Output from the D regulator when Td=1 s and the deviation is according to Deviation 2.
The example shows that the bigger the deviation and the higher the Td setting is, the bigger is the output
from the D regulator. Since the D regulator is responding to the slope of the deviation, it also means that
when there is no change, the D output will be zero.
When commissioning, please keep in mind that the Kp setting has influence on the D regulator
output.
If the Td is adjusted to 0 s, the D regulator is switched OFF.
The differential action time Td must not be too high. This will make the regulation hunt similar
to a too high proportional action factor Kp

An expected disadvantage of a high weight factor is that when a frequency/voltage deviation and a power/
reactive power deviation exist, then hunting could be experienced. To avoid this, you can decrease either the
weight factor or the parameters of the frequency/voltage regulator.

As the drawing indicates, the relays will be fixed ON if the regulation deviation is big, and they will be pulsing
if it is closer to the setpoint. In the dynamic range, the pulses get shorter and shorter when the regulation
deviation gets smaller. Just before the dead band area, the pulse is as short as it can get. This is the adjusted
time GOV ON time/(AVR ON time). The longest pulse will appear at the end of the dynamic range (45 Hz
in the example above).
Relay adjustments
The time settings for the regulation relays can be adjusted in the control setup. It is possible to adjust the period time and the ON time. They are shown in the drawing below.

The length of the period time will never be shorter than the adjusted ON time.
Regulation failure
The governor/AVR regulation failure in menu 2560/2680 occurs when the regulation is activated but the setpoint cannot be reached.
The alarm will appear when the setpoint is reached. The deviation is calculated in percent:
Example:
UACTUAL = 400V AC
UNOMINAL = 440V AC
Difference in percent: (440-400)/440*100 = 9.1%
If the alarm setting is lower than 9.1% in this example, the alarm appears.
Adjust the alarm setting Dead band to 100% to deactivate the alarm.

6.1 Synchronisation
The unit can be used for synchronisation of generator and mains breaker (if installed). Two different synchronisation principles are available, namely static and dynamic synchronisation (dynamic is selected by default).
This chapter describes the principles of the synchronisation functions and the adjustment of these.
In the following, the term synchronisation means synchronising and closing of the
synchronised breaker.

In the example above, the synchronising genset is running at 1503 RPM ~ 50.1 Hz. The generator on load is
running at 1500 RPM ~ 50.0 Hz. This gives the synchronising genset a positive slip frequency of 0.1 Hz.
DEIF A/S
Page 90 of 324
Synchronisation
The intention of the synchronising is to decrease the phase angle difference between the two rotating systems. These two systems are the three-phase system of the generator and the three-phase system of the
busbar. In the illustration above, phase L1 of the busbar is always pointing at 12 oclock, whereas phase L1 of
the synchronising genset is pointing in different directions due to the slip frequency.
Of course both three-phase systems are rotating, but for illustrative purposes the vectors for
the generator on load are not shown to be rotating. This is because we are only interested in
the slip frequency for calculating when to release the synchronisation pulse.
When the generator is running with a positive slip frequency of 0.1 Hz compared to the busbar, then the two
systems will be synchronised every 10 seconds.
Please observe the chapter regarding PID controllers and the synchronising controllers.
In the illustration above, the difference in the phase angle between the synchronising set and the busbar gets
smaller and will eventually be zero. Then the genset is synchronised to the busbar, and the breaker will be
closed.
The synchronisation pulse is always issued, so the closing of the breaker will occur at the 12
oclock position.
The length of the synchronisation pulse is the response time + 20 ms (2020 Synchronisation).

Synchronisation
It is obvious that this type of synchronisation is able to synchronise relatively fast because of the adjusted
minimum and maximum slip frequencies. This actually means that when the unit is aiming to control the frequency towards its setpoint, then synchronising can still occur as long as the frequency is within the limits of
the slip frequency adjustments.
Dynamic synchronisation is recommended where fast synchronisation is required, and where
the incoming gensets are able to take load just after the breaker has been closed.
Static and dynamic synchronisation can be switched by using M-logic.

Synchronisation
After the synchronising, the unit will change the controller setpoint according to the requirements of the selected genset mode.
Static synchronisation is recommended where a slip frequency is not accepted, for instance if
several gensets synchronise to a busbar with no load groups connected.
Static and dynamic synchronisation can be switched by using M-logic.

Be aware that when you change the unit type in menu 9000, all settings will be changed back to
default.
The power management communication between the units is configured through the utility software. The
power management communication is CANbus communication, and, consequently, it must follow the standards for CANbus communication.
Before configuring the power management, it is necessary to identify which terminals the communication
lines go to. To simplify the installation, the CAN lines will normally run from CAN A to CAN A, but it is possible
to mix the CAN lines on application software newer than 4.5x (AGC-4, AGC 200 and AGC 100). On AGCs,
the power management lines can for example go from CAN port A on an AGC-4 (terminal numbers A1 and
A3) on the first controller to CAN port A on an AGC 200 (terminal numbers 7 and 9) on the next controller. It
is important that the wiring is a daisy chain connection and that it is identified to which terminals the communication bus goes on each controller. The power management communication lines can be redundant, in which
case they are named PM CAN primary and PM CAN secondary. The line must be a continuous communication bus, and it cannot be mixed with the other communication bus for power management.
The power management communication can be on different terminals, dependent on which options the controller has been delivered with. The different terminals are shown below:
Terminal no.

First, you must follow the CANbus lines and decide which one should be named PM CAN primary, and which
one should be named PM CAN secondary.
DEIF A/S
Power management
There is no difference in functionality between the PM CAN primary and PM CAN secondary,
but the lines cannot be mixed up with each other.
If only one CANbus line is present, it is insignificant whether PM CAN primary or PM CAN secondary is selected. If PM CAN primary is selected, this will have to be selected in all controllers. The same goes for PM CAN secondary.
When the CAN ports on each controller have been selected, this will have to be set in the controller. To facilitate comprehension, some examples are given.

Power management
In this example, the application consists solely of AGC-4 units. The application is an H-coupling with two
mains, two gensets and one BTB. The application only has one CANbus line between the units. The CANbus
line goes to the terminal numbers shown in the table below:

It is now possible to select whether the CANbus line should be named PM CAN primary or PM CAN secondary. It does not make a difference which one is selected when the application only has one CANbus line, as
long as it is the same in all controllers. In this example, PM CAN primary is selected. It is then required to go
to parameter 7840 in all controllers and set the corresponding CAN port to PM CAN primary.
It is also possible to mix the CAN ports on the AGC-4, but only on controllers with newer software (4.5x.x or
newer). In this way, it will be possible to make an application where the CAN lines are as shown in the table
below:
Controller
Terminal no.

The order of the CAN ports is not important, as long as the settings in the controllers are correct. But it is
always recommended to use the same CAN port on each controller. This can be helpful when troubleshooting, and it can also facilitate commissioning. In the last example, it does not matter whether PM CAN primary
or PM CAN secondary is selected, the function will be the same. It is only important that it is PM CAN primary
in all controllers or PM CAN secondary in all controllers.

or PM CAN secondary is selected, the function will be the same. It is only important that it is PM CAN primary
in all controllers, or PM CAN secondary in ally controllers.

It is now possible to select whether the CANbus line should be named PM CAN primary or PM CAN secondary. It does not make a difference which one is selected, as long as it is the same in all controllers. In this
example, PM CAN secondary is selected. It is then required to go to parameter 7840 in all controllers and set
the corresponding CAN port to PM CAN secondary.

Subsequently, the configuration for the plant must be sent to the units. This can be done by pressing the
Write plant configuration to the device button, which looks like this:
After pressing the button, only the one controller, to which you are connected, knows the actual application
configuration. The application configuration can then be sent from this controller to all the other controllers by
pressing the Broadcast button in the top of the utility software:
If the AGC is to fit into an application with AGC units with older software, this can also be done. But some
restrictions must be fulfilled before the system will work correctly. On older software, the communication lines
(CAN protocols) are called CAN A and CAN B. By default, these are set to a CAN port and cannot be switched. In the table below, this is shown for the different controllers.

When handling controllers with older software, be aware that the settings in older software do not allow the
controllers to use other ports for power management than the ports that are set default. On older software, it
is not possible to mix the used CAN ports. If CAN port A is used, this should be used on all older controllers.
The same goes for CAN port B on older controllers. It is possible to mix newer controllers' and older controllers' power management communication. The easiest way to explain this is with an example:

software should be PM CAN secondary.

When the controllers are mixed with software and CAN ports, the controllers with the older software determine the settings in parameter 7840 for the controllers with newer software. If the CAN line on the controller
with older software goes to CAN port A, the setting for the controllers with newer software should be PM CAN
primary. The settings from the example are shown below. To facilitate comprehension, the CAN lines are divided into two tables:

The alarms will be present as long as the failure is present. A reconfiguration of the power plant is required to
remove the alarms. The reconfiguration can be done in two ways: By means of quick setup or by means of
the utility software.
Please refer to the chapter Application design for instructions for using the utility software to
design an application configuration.
The application can also be reconfigured from the quick setup menu (9180). The quick setup should only be
used for small applications. It is also normally used for small applications for rental gensets. If the quick setup
is used, utility software is not required.
For more details, please refer to the chapter Quick setup.

Manual:
If "MANUAL" is selected, all the AGC units will change mode to manual mode. In this way, the regulators will have no reaction, and it will not be possible to close any breakers (unless the breakers are
already within the limits for the sync. window or black busbar). Manual mode is not selectable in BTB
or mains units.
When the wire break on the CAN lines occurs, the regulators will stop immediately, and no further action will take place. Protections are still active, so if for example a short circuit or an overload occurs,
the AGC is still able to make a shutdown or a trip of a breaker.
Manual mode can also be described with an example:

If the wire break occurs before the engine is started, the controller is not allowed to start the engines. If
more than two gensets are present in an application and manual is selected, none of the gensets will
be able to loadshare. Only the protections are active.
Be aware that when a CANbus failure is present, the risk of blackout is also present, since load sharing does not take place in manual mode.
DEIF A/S

Power management
Semi-auto:
If "SEMI-AUTO" is selected, the AGC units will change to semi-auto mode when a CANbus failure
alarm occurs.
In semi-auto mode, the regulators in the AGC units are still active. This means that the gensets that
are visible to each other are able to loadshare. This is explained by an example:
Busbar
CANbus
AGC4
AGC4
AGC 242/243
G
Diesel genera tor set 3

In the diagram above, the CANbus failure is present between genset 2 and genset 3. This means that
gensets 1 and 2 are visible to each other. Gensets 3 and 4 are also visible to each other. Gensets 1
and 2 are able to loadshare with each other, and gensets 3 and 4 are able to loadshare with each
other. But there is still a risk of blackout, since it is still possible to overload two of the gensets, while
the other two are not very loaded.
If a CANbus failure occurs when the gensets are stopped, they will not be blocked, and in this way it
will be possible to start them.
If a CANbus failure is present in this situation, it is possible to start two gensets and
close the breaker onto the busbar at the same time! (Not synchronised).

No mode change:
If "No mode change" is selected, all the AGC units will be kept in the mode the where in before the
CANbus failure occurred. In an application with several mains, BTBs and several gensets, if one genset is not visible anymore, the rest of the system can still behave almost like normal and in auto mode.
But if the CANbus failure occurs in a system like the one shown below, it might be a problem:

The application above is made for automatic mains failure operation. In this application, the present
CANbus failure will be a problem, since the gensets will receive a start signal from the mains controller
when the mains fails. But since the CANbus has a failure between the mains controller and the gensets, the gensets will never know when the mains fails and will therefore never start. If this setting is
used, it is recommended to use the CANbus fail class settings (7530) in order for the system to handle
the situation correctly.

Description:
This drawing illustrates the terms used.
Nominal power:
The nominal power is the rated power of the genset that can be read on the type plate of the generator.
Total power:
The total power is the summation of the rated nominal power of each individual genset. In the example
above, the plant consists of three DGs:
DG 1 =
1500kW
DG 2 =
1000kW
DG 3 =
1000kW
That is a total of
3500 kW
Produced power:
The produced power is defined as the existing load on the busbar. In the example above, the produced power
is indicated as the hatched area, and the total of the three gensets = 2450 kW.
Available power:
The available power is the difference between the maximum possible power produced by the gensets and the
actual produced power.
In the example above, the plant consists of three gensets, in total 3500 kW. The load consumes 2450 kW in
total. Since the total load PTOTAL is 3500 kW, and the produced load PPRODUCED is 2450 kW, then the
available power PAVAILABLE is 1050 kW, meaning that the gensets can handle this load if it should be added to the busbar.

If the order of priority is changed, the following must be observed: If the priority does not seem
to change as expected, it is because the load-dependent stop function is not able to stop the
lowest priority after having started the new first priority. That would cause two DGs to be running at low load instead of one DG.
Power window:
The difference between the programmed load-dependent start and stop limits forms the power hysteresis between the start and stop. This is shown in the diagram below:

These setpoints can activate a relay when the specific amount of available power is reached. The relay output can be used to connect load groups when sufficient power is available. The relays will activate when the
available power is higher than the setpoint, but be aware that when the load groups are being connected, the
available power will decrease and the relay(s) deactivate again if the available power is below the setpoint.
So it is necessary to make an external holding circuit.
The number of available relays is limited.
The function is not depending on the running modes. The relays will activate in all modes including block. To
avoid activation, e.g. when the genset is stopped, the inhibit function should be used.
It is possible to adjust different levels of available power in all gensets. This gives the possibility to use several load groups if this is necessary.

Now the load sharing continues using CAN share. This means that the power
management will be lost, but the gensets already running will stay stable.
Enable analogue LS
Now the load sharing continues based on the IOM 230 module (analogue load
sharing). This means that the power management will be lost, but the gensets
already running will stay stable.
With both enabled, the load sharing will switch to analogue LS if CAN share
fails. This means that if power management fails, and both of the mentioned
M-Logic commands are/become active, the analogue load sharing will be prioritised first.

When menu 2614 is enabled, the power setpoint continues to rise in ramp-up steps, determined by menu
2615, towards the load sharing setpoint. The delay time between each ramp-up step will be determined by
menu 2613. The ramp-up will continue until the load sharing setpoint is reached and then switch the regulator
to standard load sharing mode. If the delay point is set to 20% and the number of load steps is set to three,
the genset will ramp to 20%, wait the configured delay time, ramp to 40%, wait, ramp to 60%, wait and then
ramp to the system setpoint. If the setpoint is at 50%, the ramp will stop at 50%.
If ATS is selected, the AGC 200 has no control over the ATS (mains breaker).
Description:
Normally, the AGC 200 detects a mains failure based on the voltage and frequency measurement on the
mains. However, when ATS is selected in menu 7085 it is necessary to use a digital input together with the
position feedbacks from the ATS. Thus, the mains failure is not detected by the AGC 200 measurements, but
by the following two requirements:
1. Alternative start input ON
2. ATS (MB) feedback OFF
To make the AGC 200 detect a mains failure, the alternative start input has to be ON and the MB OFF feedback has to be active.
The input used as Alternative start function is configured in the PC utility software (USW).
DEIF A/S
Power management
The mains unit will not try to operate the ATS (mains breaker) at all. But it is still necessary that position feedbacks are wired up.
It is possible to have a tie breaker installed. This is useful if more gensets need to be started before supplying
the load, because the tie breaker will not close until the required number of gensets is available.
ATS island mode:
If this application is needed, the gensets can be started by activating the auto start/stop input. The gensets
will be started and stopped according to the power demand. That is, they will operate in load-dependent start/
stop mode.
Be aware that since no tie breaker is installed, it is important that the first genset to close on
the busbar can carry the load. If the load is too high, the genset will be overloaded.
This application can be combined with the multi-start function.

The purpose of the selection is to decide whether the plant can be started from the display (local operator),
from remote (e.g. PLC) or by an internal timer. Remote means that the control can be carried out by activating the digital input or through Modbus communication.
Local selection:
All operation is carried out on the display. In island operation, any generator unit display can be used, and in
load takeover, mains power export and fixed power, the mains unit display must be used. The plant mode
must be AUTO.
Remote selection:
The plant is started using the digital input auto start/stop when remote is selected.
Island mode:
In island mode, the auto start/stop input on any of the AGC 200 units can be used to start the plant. However, DEIF recommends to wire up the auto start/stop input to all of the AGC 200 units to be sure that the
automatic operation is able to continue even though one of the DGs is taken out for service (power supply
disconnected to the AGC 200).
In island mode, any running mode (MAN, AUTO, SEMI, BLOCK) can be selected on the generator units, and
the remote start signal is still working for the remaining AGC 200 which is still in AUTO mode.
Parallel to mains mode
In load takeover, mains power export and fixed power mode, the auto start/stop input on the mains unit
must be used to start the plant.
Plant operation:
The table shows how the plant is started:

In peak shaving and AMF, the automatic operation starts automatically depending on the imported power (peak shaving) or mains failures (AMF).
Timer selection:
The operation of the plant is controlled by up to eight internal command timers which are programmed using
the PC utility software (USW). The function can be used in load takeover, mains power export and fixed power, and the mains unit has to be in auto.

These settings are only adjusted in the generator units. After the adjustment, the order of priority must be transmitted manually to the other gensets using the transmit function in menu
8086.
Running hours:
The purpose of the priority selection based on running hours is to let all the gensets have the same or nearly
the same amount of running hours.
Every time the adjusted period in menu 8111 is reached, a new order of priority is determined and the gensets with first priorities will be started (if not already running), and the gensets with the last priorities will stop.
There are two possibilities of operating the priority routine based on the running hours: Absolute or relative.
The selection between the absolute and relative routine defines whether the offset adjustment of the running
hours is taken into consideration in the priority calculation. The offset adjustment is used for example when
the AGC 200 is installed on an old genset which already has many running hours, or if an AGC 200 is replaced.
Absolute running hours:
All gensets participate in the priority routine based on the principle shown in the table below. This means that
the gensets with the lowest number of running hours will be running. This can be a disadvantage, for instance
if the application consists of old gensets together with new gensets. In that situation, the new gensets will be
the first priorities until they have reached the same number of running hours as the old gensets. To avoid this,
the priority routine called relative running hours can be used instead.
The actual number of running hours is adjusted in each AGC 200 in menus 6101 and 6102, typically at the
commissioning. The purpose of the menu is to have the correct number of running hours displayed.

Fuel optimisation:
The purpose of the fuel optimisation routine is to always let the gensets run in the best combination at any
given load, based on their actual nominal powers.
The settings are adjusted in the command unit.
The multi-start function cannot be used together with the fuel optimising routine.

The function is set up in the following menus:

The function is best described with an example. An example with three DGs is shown below.
DG1 = 1000 kW
DG2 = 1000 kW
DG3 = 500 kW
Settings used in the fuel optimising function in this example:
8011 Load-dependent stop = 220 kW
8171 Set point = 100 %
8172 Swap set point = 200 kW
Situation 1:
The two 1000 kW gensets must operate. The load is too big for one 1000 kW and one 500 kW genset.
Situation 2:
Since the load has decreased to 1400 kW, it would be enough with one 1000 kW and one 500 kW genset.
The improvement is 500 kW which is better than 200 kW (menu 8172). The problem is that only 100 kW
would be available. The load-dependent stop requires 220 kW available, so no swapping can take place.
Situation 3:
Now the load has decreased to 1300 kW. It would be enough with one 1000 kW and one 500 kW genset. The
improvement is 500 kW which is better than 200 kW (menu 8172). The problem is that only 200 kW would be
available. The load-dependent stop requires 220 kW available, so no swapping can take place.
Situation 4:
Now the load has decreased to 1200 kW. It would be enough with one 1000 kW and one 500 kW genset. The
improvement is 500 kW which is better than 200 kW (menu 8172). This means that 300 kW would be available, so the load-dependent stop does not interfere with the fuel optimising.
Fuel optimising is initiated!
Situation 5:
Now DG3 has been started and is running with 400 kW. This is the best combination at this time, and no
swapping takes place with this load.
DEIF A/S
Power management
The set point (menu 8171) in percent is typically set to 80 to 85 % for optimum fuel economy.
Running hours:
It is possible to combine the fuel optimising with the running hours. This is enabled in menu 8175. If this setting is OFF, the fuel optimising will be active but the running hours will not be included in the calculation.
If the function running hours is enabled, the principle is the following: If one genset reaches the adjusted
amount of running hours, then it will be given quarantine. This means that it will just rest until it has the lowest
number of running hours. The only exception to this is if there is no alternative combination. Then it will be
used, but it will still be in quarantine.

When the available power is above the requested HC power, the heavy consumer is subsequently blocked
until the programmed HC acknowledge delay runs out (fixed delay of 4 sec.).
The DELAY ACK. HC may be necessary in order to allow the recently started generator set to take load and
thus actually increase the available power at the busbar before engagement of the HC.
The heavy consumers (HCs) are connected according to their priority. This means that if two or more heavy
consumers request start acknowledgement at the same time, the HC with the highest priority is handled first,
and subsequently HCs with lower priority, etc.
HC 1.1 (1st HC in DG unit with CAN ID no. 1) is designated the highest priority. This means that HC 1.1 is
handled before HC 1.2, and HC 2.1 is handled before HC 2.2 if they are requested for start at the same time.
If there are any preferential HCs, they must be connected to the hardware interface for the 1st HC in order to
ensure first priority handling.
The power management system carries out the following systematic sequence when a heavy consumer is
requested for start
a) The programmed HC n REQ. VALUE is reserved at the busbar (parameter 8201/8211).
b) A PMS start command is transmitted to the next stand-by generator set if the predicted available power is
below the programmed LOAD START LIMIT.
DEIF A/S
Power management
c) When sufficient available power is present at the busbar, the timer DELAY ACK. HC n starts running
(fixed delay time of 4 sec.).
d) The start acknowledge signal is transmitted to the HC in question when the timer DELAY ACK. HC n runs
out and sufficient available power is still measured at the busbar.
e) The nominal HC power value (parameter 8202/8212) is used for load-dependent start/stop calculation after
the acknowledge signal is given.
Power feedback from the heavy consumer
The AGC 200 is able to handle two types of power feedback:
Binary feedback
Analogue feedback
The two types of power feedback signals are handled the same way by the conditional connection of heavy
consumers function.
Changing the power feedback type is done by a parameter (8203/8213) in each generator unit.
Activating the corresponding start request binary input activates the HC engagement sequence. The AGC
200 system transmits a start acknowledge signal when sufficient predicted available power is present at the
busbar.

If a generator runs in base load and the total load decreases to a point below the base load setpoint, the system will lower the fixed power setpoint. This is to prevent frequency control problems, as the generator running in base load does not participate in the frequency control.
When the generator breaker is closed, the generator power will be increased to the fixed power setpoint.
If AVR control is selected, the setpoint will be the adjusted power factor.
The unit selected for base load operation will automatically be set in SEMI-AUTO. Only one
generator per independent busbar can run with base load.
The busbar has to be active with one or more DG units running, before the unit with the lowest
ID can activate base load.
Only one AGC 200 unit at a time can run in base load. The unit with the lowest ID will be allowed to run in base load.

Example: Four DGs able to produce 2800 kW each as nominal power. Asymmetric LS setpoint = 90%. Load
on the busbar is 3030 kW.
The generator with priority 01 will start up first, taking 90% of the load = 2727 kW. The generator with priority
02 will take the rest of the load = 303 kW.

This delay time can be used to trip non essential load groups.
Example: In the example illustrated below it is shown that the tie breaker will trip if DG1 or DG2 is connected
to the load, because they are smaller than 510 kW. If DG1 and DG2 are running together, the tie breaker will
also trip, because the total nominal power is still below 510 kW. If, however, DG3 is running alone or together
with one of the two smaller DGs, then the tie breaker will not trip, because the total nominal power will be
higher than 510 kW.
Trip No trip
DG 3 = 600 kW
DG 2 = 250 kW
DG 1 = 250 kW
The powers mentioned above are nominal powers of the gensets in the application.
It is possible to deload the tie breaker semi-auto mode with the M-Logic command "Act TB deload".
Power capacity:
The power capacity setting in menu 8193 is used in AMF applications to determine how much power must be
available, before the tie breaker can close. When the gensets are started, the generator breakers will close
and when sufficient power is available, the tie breaker will be closed.
Power capacity overrule: In case some of the generators fail to start and the power capacity setpoint is not
reached, the tie breaker will never be closed. Because of this, it is possible to overrule the power capacity
setpoint after a period of time set in menu 8194. The function power capacity overrule is enabled in menu
8195.

8.2.1 Definitions
A multiple mains application consists of feeders and generators plus a number of GBs, TBs, BTBs and MBs.
Sections
The application consists of static and dynamic sections if one or more BTBs are installed. The definition of a
section is given in the table below.
DEIF A/S
Power management
Section
Definition
Static section
Part of the total application which is separated by one or two open BTBs. There will be no
closed BTBs within this section.
A static section can also be a dynamic section, but not vice versa.
Dynamic section
Part of the total application which is separated by one or two open BTBs. There may be
one or more closed BTBs within this section.
Only use remote start signal in island application with BTB units.
The diagram below shows the different section types - a static section to the left and a dynamic section to the
right. If BTB 34 opens, the dynamic section will be divided into two static sections, because there are no further BTBs to open. If BTBs 33 and 34 are closed, the application will consist of one dynamic section.

MB failure start:
This setting determines whether a start of the DGs should be executed if an MB close failure occurs.
If "MB failure start" is activated, the mode shift functionality will automatically be enabled.
In peak shaving, fixed power, mains power export and load takeover, the function is only active
when menu 7081 "Mode shift" is set to ON.
MB parallel:
This setting determines whether the mains connections (MBs) should be able to run in parallel or not.
The setting of "MB parallel" affects the function of the "Auto switch" setting.
No break transfer:
This setting determines whether switching between the mains connections (MBs) should be executed as a
black coupling or a synchronised coupling.
If the TBs in a section are adjusted to normally closed and "MB parallel" is switched OFF, then only one of the
TBs can be closed at the time.
The system will try to keep the ID selected in menu 8186 ("My ID to Run") to keep its TB closed. If, however,
the selected ID does not have a TB configured as a normally closed breaker, or if it fails to close it, it will be
the mains unit holding the lowest ID without TB failures present that will close.
If "My ID to Run" is changed during operation, then the MB parallel setting will decide whether a black or a
synchronised changeover will take place.
If "MB parallel" is activated, the "No break transfer" will automatically be enabled.
Auto switch:
This setting determines whether a mains unit detecting a mains failure will try to get the connected load supplied by another mains or by the available DGs.

9.1.1 Start functions
The unit will start the genset when the start command is given. The start sequence is deactivated when the
remove starter event occurs or when the running feedback is present.
The reason for having two possibilities of deactivating the start relay is to be able to delay the alarms with run
status
Please refer to chapter 4 for detailed information about start sequence.
If it is not possible to activate the run status alarms at low revolutions, the remove starter function must be
used.
An example of a critical alarm is the oil pressure alarm. Normally, it is configured according to the shutdown
fail class. But if the starter motor has to disengage at 400 RPM, and the oil pressure does not reach a level
above the shutdown setpoint before 600 RPM, then, obviously, the genset would shut down if the specific
alarm was activated at the preset 400 RPM. In that case, the running feedback must be activated at a higher
number of revolutions than 600 RPM

When the load of all three gensets drops to the stop limit, which is 20%, then the load-dependent stop relay
activates and a genset (genset 3 in this example) can be stopped. The load continues to drop, and at 20%
load the next genset to stop is genset 2.

Derate parameters
The parameters that define the derate characteristics are the following:
Start derate point (6260 Power derate)
This is the setting where the derating must start. The setting can be in mA (max. 20 mA) or in centigrades C
(max. 200C).
Slope (6260 Power derate)
Adjust the derating speed. The adjustment is in percent per unit, i.e. if the 4-20 mA input is used, then the
derating will be in %/mA, and if the Pt100/Pt1000/RMI input is used, then the derating will be in %/C.
Be aware that the 4-20 mA input can be configured with different minimum and maximum settings. In this case, the settings start derate point and slope use these new settings.

Remote GB ON The generator breaker ON sequence will be initiated and the breaker will synchronise if
the mains breaker is closed, or close without synchronising if the mains breaker is opened.
Remote GB OFF The generator breaker OFF sequence will be initiated. If the mains breaker is opened,
then the generator breaker will open instantly. If the mains breaker is closed, the generator load will be
deloaded to the breaker open limit followed by a breaker opening.
Remote MB ON The mains breaker ON sequence will be initiated and the breaker will synchronise if the
generator breaker is closed, or close without synchronising if the generator breaker is opened.
Remote MB OFF The mains breaker OFF sequence will be initiated and the breaker will open instantly.
Remote alarm acknowledge Acknowledges all present alarms, and the alarm LED on the display stops
flashing.
Auto start/stop The genset will start when this input is activated. The genset will be stopped if the input is
deactivated. The input can be used when the unit is in island operation, fixed power, load takeover or
mains power export, and the auto running mode is selected.

23. Generator breaker closed feedback (GB position ON)The input function is used as an indication of the
generator breaker position. The unit requires this feedback when the breaker is closed or a position failure alarm occurs.
In AGC 222 it is possible to configure GB pos. ON to "not used", so the input can be
used for other purposes. It is done by selecting"not used" in the I/O list in the USW after which this input is free for other purposes. Be aware that when GB pos. ON is selected in the I/O list, it can ONLY be configured to input 89.
24. Generator breaker open feedback (GB position OFF) The input function is used as an indication of the
generator breaker position. The unit requires this feedback when the breaker is opened or a position failure alarm occurs.
In AGC 222 it is possible to configure GB pos. OFF to "not used", so the input can be
used for other purposes. It is done by selecting "not used" in the I/O list in the USW after which this input is free for other purposes. Be aware that when GB pos. OFF is selected in the I/O list, it can ONLY be configured to input 90.
25. Mains breaker closed feedback (MB position ON) The input function is used as an indication of the mains
breaker position. The unit requires this feedback when the breaker is closed or a position failure alarm
occurs.
26. Mains breaker open feedback (MB position OFF) The input function is used as an indication of the mains
breaker position. The unit requires this feedback when the breaker is opened or a position failure alarm
occurs.
DEIF A/S
Additional functions
27. Emergency stop The input shuts down the engine immediately. At the same time, it opens the generator
breaker.
The shutdown fail class must be selected.
28. Low speed Disables the regulators and keeps the genset running at a low RPM.
The governor must be prepared for this function.
29. Temperature control This input is part of the idle mode function. When the input is high, then the genset
starts. It starts at high or low speed, depending on the activation of the low speed input. When the input is
deactivated, then the genset goes to idle mode (low speed = ON) or it stops (low speed = OFF).
30. Battery test Activates the starter without starting the genset. If the battery is weak, the test will cause the
battery voltage to drop more than acceptable, and an alarm will occur.
31.
32.
33.
34.
35.
Battery test is not supported by all engines using J1939/CANbus communication. Volvo
engines with ECM2.2 supports a fuel disable request through the CAN communication.
Mains OK Disables the mains OK delay timer. The synchronisation of the mains breaker will only happen when the input is activated.
MB close inhibit When this input is activated, the mains breaker cannot close.
Enable mode shift The input activates the mode shift function, and the AGC 200 will perform the AMF
sequence in case of a mains failure. When the input is configured, the setting in menu 7081 (mode shift
ON/OFF) is disregarded.
Enable GB black close When the input is activated, the AGC 200 is allowed to close the generator on a
black busbar, providing that the frequency and voltage are inside the limits set up in menu 2110.
Enable separate sync. Activating this input will split the breaker close and breaker synchronisation functions into two different relays. The breaker close function will remain on the relays dedicated for breaker
control. The synchronisation function will be moved to a configurable relay dependent on the options configuration. Please refer to the description.
This function is option-dependent. Option M12 or M14.x is required.
36. Start enable The input must be activated to be able to start the engine.
When the genset is started, the input can be removed.
37. Alternative startThis input is used to simulate an AMF failure and this way run a full AMF sequence without a mains failure actually being present.
38. Switchboard error The input will stop or block the genset, depending on running status.
39. Total test This input will be logged in the event log to indicate that a planned mains failure has been
made.
40. GB spring loaded The AGC 200 will not send a close signal before this feedback is present.
41. MB spring loaded The AGC 200 will not send a close signal before this feedback is present.
42. 1st priority mains This input is used in G5 applications with two mains connections to select which mains
connection has the 1st priority.
43. Ext. MB pos. OFF This input is used in G5 applications with two mains connections to tell the AGC 200
mains units that the mains breaker not controlled by them has been tripped.
44. Heavy consumer 1 request This input is used in G5 applications with two generators or more to request
heavy consumer 1 to start.
45. Heavy consumer 2 request This input is used in G5 applications with two generators or more to request
heavy consumer 2 to start.
DEIF A/S
Additional functions
46. Deload A running genset will start to ramp down the power.
47. GB OFF and BLOCK The generator breaker will open, the genset will activate the stop sequence and

48. HC 1 fixed load feedback HC 1 is running and consuming 100% power.
49. HC 2 fixed load feedback HC 2 is running and consuming 100% power.
50. Secured mode ON Secured mode adds an extra generator to the system, i.e. one generator too many will
be running when comparing with the actual power requirement.
51. Secured mode OFF Ends secured running mode.
52. Base load The generator set will run base load (fixed power) and not participate in frequency control.
Should the plant power requirement drop, the base load will be lowered so the other generator(s) on line
produces at least 10% power.
53. D+ is running feedback from the charger generator.
The input functions are set up with the PC utility software, please refer to Help in this.

When using digital inputs or an AOP button to increase/decrease the GOV/AVR signal, the length of the pulse
can be adjusted in parameter 2783 and 2784.
Manual GOV and AVR control only works in manual and semi-auto mode, it will not be active in test and auto
mode. The regulator that is manually regulated is not active as long as a manual step signal is active. When
the manual step signal has expired, the normal regulator will be active again.
Example: A genset is running with the GB open. An AOP is configured with manual up and down and a signal length of 5 s. When the AOP button is pushed for manual GOV up, the RPM for the genset will increase
for five seconds. The AGC's governor regulator is deactivated for five seconds. When the five seconds have
expired, the normal regulator in the AGC will regulate the genset down to nominal set point again.
Regarding AOP setup, please refer to Help in the PC utility software.

M-Logic functionality is included in the unit and is not an option-dependent function, however, selecting additional options can increase the functionality.
M-Logic is used to execute different commands at predefined conditions. M-Logic is not a PLC but substitutes
one if only very simple commands are needed.
M-Logic is a simple tool based on logic events. One or more input conditions are defined, and at the activation of those inputs the defined output will occur. A great variety of inputs can be selected, such as digital
inputs, alarm conditions and running conditions. A variety of the outputs can also be selected, such as relay
outputs, change of genset modes and change of running modes.
The M-Logic is part of the PC utility software, and as such it can only be configured in the PC
utility software and not via the display.
The main purpose of M-Logic is to give the operator/designer more flexible possibilities of operating the generator control system.

This droop function is performed based on the actual value for the power set point in the moment the droop is
activated. If the function for an example is activated during ramping and the actual power value at this moment is 200 kW, the droop is performed based on 200 kW as the "Fixed Power Setpoint" stated in the diagram.
The slopes (7133/7134) are used, as long as the mains frequency has a direction away from nominal settings. When the mains is starting to recover and the frequency is heading towards the nominal settings, the
power set point is waiting to be restored until the frequency is within the hysteresis limits. If the hysteresis is
disabled, the power set point will simply be restored using the slope.
When drooping, the slopes will be scaled based on size of the actual power at the droop start, compared to
the specified nominal power. For example, if a DG of nominal 1000 kW is producing 500 kW when droop is
activated, then only 50 % of the slope values will be used. To achieve a nominal droop of 40 % per Hz, a
1000 kW (50 Hz) DG should be configured with slopes of 200 kW/%. If DG then only is producing 500 kW
when droop is activated, the actual slope will be experienced as 100 kW/%.
If "Auto ramp selection" is enabled (channel 2624), the secondary pair of ramps will be used during frequency-dependent power droop. In order to prevent a new situation with faulty mains, it may be advantageous to
use slower ramps in or after a situation with an unstable mains. The secondary ramps will automatically be
disabled again when the frequency-dependent power droop is no longer active, and the specified power set
point is reached. If "Auto ramp selection" is disabled, it is only possible to activate the secondary ramps using
M-Logic. Parameters used for the secondary ramps are stated in the table below.

Hysteresis
In addition to the mentioned settings, a hysteresis can also be used. The function of the hysteresis is that the
cos phi set point stays at the drooped value if the voltage returns towards nominal, until the adjusted hysteresis is reached.
If for example the voltage drops, the cos phi set point follows the slope to for example 0.82. If the voltage now
recovers, the cos phi set point stays at the mentioned 0.82 (in our example) until the voltage reaches 99 %,
and then it moves back to our set point of 0.90. (1 % is the set point of the hysteresis).
If the hysteresis is adjusted to a higher value than the deadband, it is not in effect. Therefore, if the hysteresis
is not used, please adjust it higher than the DB.
Slope
Two settings for the slope are available, namely the "Slope Low" (SL) and the "Slope High" (SH). The name
of the settings refer to the voltage being lower or higher than the nominal voltage (100 %). The slope is adjusted with a sign (positive or negative). The positive sign is the leading (capacitive) range, and the negative sign
is the lagging (inductive) range.
In order to explain when to adjust positive or negative sign, the following coordinate system is used.
When the requirement of the voltage support is known, it can be decided whether the slope is positive or negative. This is best illustrated with an example:
If the voltage drops compared to the nominal voltage, the generator is requested to increase the excitation
and thereby the produced kvars (in order to support the grid). If the set point (SP) is 1.00 and a deadband
setting is 1 %, the cos phi set point will decrease from 1.00 to 0.90 (SL setting is -0.05). See the calculation
and diagram below.
SPNEW 388 V AC = 1.00 - (((396-388)/400)*100) 0.05 = 0.90 (simplified)
DEIF A/S
Additional functions
Capacitive range
Even though the function is normally used to support a low mains voltage, it is possible to adjust it so it decreases the excitation if the voltage increases (leading power factor).
To avoid pole slip and damage of the generators, make sure that the capability curve of the
generators is respected and that the generators are not running under-excited or without excitation.

With a nominal voltage of 400 V and an actual voltage of 412 V, there is a deviation of 12 V which is equal to
a 3 % deviation from the nominal setting. The genset will then droop to a power factor of 0.95 inductive according to the above settings.

The settings of MA and MI can be reversed, meaning that the reactive power will move in the
inductive direction with increasing voltage.
The system measures and reacts based on the mains voltage measurement. The function will make a dynamic voltage-dependent PF that is used to support the mains voltage. The ramp has a configurable deadband (DBL/DBH) that can be used with reference to the nominal voltage of the mains to deactivate the ramp
functionality.
This is to have a normal operation band where a normal voltage fluctuation does not create disturbance on
the mains. If the deadband is set to 0, the deadband is removed and the ramp will be active at any time.
When the mains measurement is outside the deadband, the voltage deviation is taken into consideration and
a new power factor value is calculated. The power factor regulator of the generator will then adjust the power
factor and thereby change the var import/export of the plant.
The calculation is based on the fixed power factor set point value.
From SW version 4.52.x: The output in the exact moment the droop is launched will be frozen
and used as set point for the droop actions as long as the droop is active. (Illustrated as "fixed
PF setpoint" in the diagram above).
The system is able to run the generator with a capacitive and an inductive power factor lowering or raising the
mains voltage.
The system is made with only one active regulator on the generator and a variable curve defining the set
point to the regulator. This ensures that there are no hunting problems with two to three regulators in cascade.
The ramp slope is set in % per unit [%/u] where the unit is in V AC, meaning that the nominal setting for slope
low, 10 %/u means 10 % increase of power factor per volt AC deviation.

Produced P * 100
Nominal P
The system measures and reacts based on the generator power measurement. The function will make a dynamic power-dependent PF that is used to support the mains voltage/compensate the voltage impact of the
power produced. The ramp has a configurable deadband (DBH) that can be used with reference to the nominal power of the generator to deactivate the ramp functionality.
This is to have a normal operation band where a normal power variation does not create disturbance on the
mains. If the deadband is set to 0, the deadband is removed and the ramp will be active at any time.
When the power measurement is outside the deadband, the power production is taken into consideration and
a new power factor value is calculated. The power factor regulator of the generator will then adjust the power
factor and thereby change the var import/export of the plant.
The calculation is based on the fixed power factor set point value.
From SW version 4.52.x: The output in the exact moment the droop is launched will be frozen
and used as set point for the droop actions as long as the droop is active. (Illustrated as "fixed
PF setpoint" in the diagram above).
The system is able to run the generator with a capacitive and an inductive power factor to compensate for
mains voltage.
The system is made with only one active regulator on the generator and a variable curve defining the set
point to the regulator. This ensures that there are no hunting problems with two to three regulators in cascade.

Additional functions
Typically the synchronising breaker is on the high voltage (HV) side, and there is no breaker (or only a manually operated one) on the low voltage (LV) side. In some applications, the breaker could also be placed on
the LV side. But this does not influence on the setting in the ML-2, as long as the breaker and the step-up
transformer is both placed between the measuring points for the ML-2. The measuring points are shown as
black dots in the figures above and below.
The phase angle compensation would not be an issue if there was no phase angle shift across the step-up
transformer, but in many cases there is. The phase angle shift is in Europe described using the vector group
description. Instead of vector group, this could also be called clock notation or phase shift.
When voltage measurement transformers are used, these have to be included in the total
phase angle compensation.
When a ML-2 is used for synchronising, the device uses the ratio of the nominal voltages for the generator
and the busbar, to calculate a setpoint for the AVR and the voltage synchronising window (dUMAX).
Example:
A 10000 V/400 V step-up transformer is installed after a generator with the nominal voltage of 400 V. The
nominal voltage of the busbar is 10000 V. Now, the voltage of the busbar is 10500 V. The generator is running 400 V before synchronising starts, but when attempting to synchronise, the AVR setpoint will be
changed to:
UBUS-MEASURED * UGEN-NOM/UBUS-NOM = 10500 * 400/10000 = 420 V

Note that DEIF does not take responsibility that the compensation is correct. Before closing
the breaker, DEIF recommends that customers always measure the synchronisation themselves.
Note that if voltage measurement is connected incorrectly, the setting in parameter 9141 will be
wrong!
Note that the setting shown in the table above does not include any phase angle twist made by
measurement transformers!
The settings shown in the table above are not correct if a step-down transformer is used.
These settings are shown later.

It is possible to have two different readouts shown in the display. The first readout is called I thermal demand.
This readout shows the average maximum peak current over an adjustable time interval.
Be aware that the calculated average is NOT the same as the average current over time. The I
thermal demand value is an average of the MAXIMUM PEAK current in the adjustable time interval.
The measured peak currents are sampled once every second, and every 6 seconds an average peak value is
calculated. If the peak value is higher than the previous maximum peak value, it is used to calculate a new
average. The thermal demand period will provide an exponential thermal characteristic.
The time interval in which the average maximum peak current is calculated can be adjusted in parameter
6840. The value can also be reset. If the value is reset, it will be logged in the event log and the readout in the
display is reset to 0.
